Laughing all the way to the bank.
He didn't just get away with murder. He got away with scamming the racists, the gun nutters AND his attorneys.

It appears that George Zimmerman may have conned the cons. After his recent altercation with his wife, his attorney, Mark OMara told ABC News in a September 10th interview that he would no longer be representing Zimmerman. That shouldnt be surprising, considering that Zimmerman was almost arrested outside of the home of his estranged wife earlier in the week for an alleged domestic violence incident. While some media sites have claimed that the police stated Zimmerman didnt have a gun, these reports, according to Zimmermanss own attorney, are false. In an interview with CNNs Anderson Cooper, OMara said that Zimmerman was in possession of a weapon when he went to his wifes home.
What might be surprising, however, is that OMara may not have dropped Zimmerman because of his tendency to get into trouble with the law. During the ABC interview, when OMara was asked if he had any advice for his former client, he said this:
Pay me.
Wait, Zimmerman never paid his defense attorney? What happened to all of the money he raised for his legal defense fund? Its interesting, actually. If you visit Zimmermans Legal Defense fund web-site you can get a pretty good idea where the majority of the money was spent.
Zimmermans web page says that as of January 2, 2013, the George Zimmerman Defense Fund had raised a total of $314,099.07. That sounds like a lot of money. The web page goes on to give a not-at-all-detailed break-down of how the money was spent.
He didn't just get away with murder. He got away with scamming the racists, the gun nutters AND his attorneys.
